HISTORY OF 

EXETER AND HAMPTON, 

NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



INTRODUCTION. 

The towns of Exeter and Hampton, which except Dover 
and Portsmouth are the oldest in this State, are places of the 
greatest historical interest, and they present to the historian, 
and all interested in the development of New Hampshire, a 
wide field of research, and a wealth of source material. 

To this section, then an almost unbroken wilderness, which 
had been obtained by purchase from the Indians, there came 
more than two and a half centuries ago, a little band of refu- 
gees under their leader and pastor, the noted clergyman Wheel- 
wright, that they might be free from religious intolerance and 
establish homes in a new and undeveloped country. They began 
the little settlement round the Squamscott river and made the 
beginning of the town of Exeter. 

At about this time too, another band of pioneers, under 
the leadership of the aged Rev. Stephen Bachiler, began the 
settlement of Exeter's sister town, Hampton. 



6 INTRODUCTION 

The history of the years of toil and endeavor with their 
dangers and privations, and their faihires and achievements, 
is one which if adequately treated would require a vast amount 
of space. It has been done by several historiaans in a credit- 
able way, and the ground has been ably covered. It is not, 
therefore, the purpose of this register to give to the people of 
Exeter and Hampton an entirely new and minutely compre- 
hensive account of these towns and their many years of history, 
but to condense the salient and most important events and facts 
into compact and easily accessible space, that the history and 
register of the families of the towns completed to the present 
year may serve the purpose of a ready-reference "Register" of 
Exeter and Hampton. 

We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness for data to the 
histories published a number of years ago by the late Governor 
Bell of Exeter, and the late Deacon Dow of Hampton, to the 
"History of New England," the town records, church records, 
directories, and all other sources of information from which 
these facts have been derived, and we wish also to thank all 
those who so kindly aided in procuring them. We take this 
opportunity, also, to thank the business and professional men 
of these towns for their assistance, and all the families who 
showed their interest in the work, and hope that they will find 
the Register something which is of interest and value. 

INDIAN ACCOUNT. 
The native tribes of New Hampshire were probably all of 
the Abnaki nation, but seem to have been independent of the 
tribes who lived in what is now the State of Maine, and to have 



INTRODUCTION 7 

had a separate government. In the eastern part of the State 
were the Pequaquaukes, or Pequakets, who inhabited a part 
-of Maine; the Ossipees, the Minnecometts, the Piscataquas and 
the Squamscotts. The population of these tribes is not defi- 
nitely known, indeed there is no certainty that any estimate 
of their numbers was ever made by any reliable authority. The 
population however was small, and the tribes were scattered; 
here and there, in some place which possessed natural attrac- 
tions, or abounded in game or fish, might be found a little 
village, perhaps, of a few hundred inhabitants, but there was 
no settlement of a large size. 

The falls of the Squamscott, round which the town of 
Exeter later grew up, and the waters of the river were a favor- 
ite haunt of the Indians, who knew the Squamscott as an excel- 
lent fishing place. At the time of Exeter's settlement by Wheel- 
wright and his party the Squamscott Indians were in posses- 
sion of this and all the surrounding region, under the leader- 
ship of their Sagamore Wehanownowit, who deeded the section 
which embraced Exeter to Wheelwright. 

These Indians were few in number, and were peaceably 
disposed to the white settlers, and less savage in character than 
most of the Indians of other tribes. They emigrated from New 
Hampshire about 1672, and settled on the Hudson river near 
Troy, New York. 

Prior to 1675, the settlers here had, for the most part, lived 
on peaceful terms with the Indians, but during that year King 
Philip's War broke out, and Exeter and Hampton, being fron- 
tier towns, suffered greatly while hostilities were going on. 
In September, 1675, a band of Indians descended upon the 



8 INTRODUCTION 

settlement of Oyster River, adjoining Exeter on the north, 
burned two houses, and killed four persons. They took two 
captives, one of whom was "a young man from about Exeter," 
who soon after escaped. Four of this party of Indians came 
to Exeter and took prisoner Charles Rundlet, who succeeded 
in making his escape. Three of the same quartet attacked John 
Robinson and his son from ambush, on the road leading to 
Hampton, and shot the elder Robinson dead. The son fled, 
and reached Hampton safely several hours later. John Folsom, 
too, was fired upon by the same Indians but escaped uninjured. 

In October following this raid, the Indians made a descent 
Upon Exeter, and slew one or two men in this vicinity. The 
war ended the following year, and hostilities ceased until nearly 
fifteen years later, when the Indians again went upon the war- 
path, and as usual the brunt of the attacks fell upon the frontier 
settlements in New Hampshire and Maine. The terrible mas- 
sacre at Cochecho (Dover) took place in 1689, and in 1690 
these towns were again the scene of Indian depredation. From 
that time until 17 10, the settlers of Exeter had to confine them- 
selves to the three garrisons in town, cultivating their fields 
and performing their daily tasks . in constant fear of lurking 
savages. During the forty years of this terrible warfare with 
the Indians, with their untold suffering and horrors, between 
thirty and forty of the settlers in Exeter were killed or taken 
cap'dve, among the slain being Ephraim Folsom, Sr., Goodman 
Robinson, and the famous Colonel Winthrop Hilton. 

The last Indian raid upon Exeter was during "Lovewell's 
War," on the twenty-ninth of August, 1723, when eighteen 
Indians attacked the house of Aaron Rollins, who, with his wife, 



INTRODUCTION 9 

a son and two daughters, had neglected, as was the custom at 
night, to take refuge in the garrison house. They resisted 
determinedly, but Rollins and one of his daughters were slain, 
and his wife, the son and the surviving daughter were carried 
as captives to Canada. 

Like Exeter, during the Indian wars, Hampton too suffered 
some attacks of the Indians, and although the customary pre- 
cautions were taken for protection, a number of the inhabitants 
were slain by the savages. Among these may be mentioned 
Capt. Samuel Sherbourne and James Dolloff, who were killed 
near Casco Bay, Me., August 4, 1691. Jonathan Green, Nicho- 
las Bond, Thomas Lancaster, the Widow Hussey, and a boy 
named Huckley, were killed in Hampton in August, 1703 ; and 
Benjamin Fifield was killed near his house in August, 1706. 
The expedition under Capt. Swett, which met with so disas- 
trous a repulse at an Indian settlement near Ticonic Falls on 
the Kennebec, was organized in Hampton and started from the 
town. Captain Swett was among those who lost their lives. 

Amid all this bloodshed and suffering, and the constant 
dread on the part of the settlers of unexpected attacks by the 
Indians, it is not strange that the settlements did not grow 
rapidly, that Hampton for many years was only a little com- 
munity and that Exeter at the close of the first century of its 
existence had but twenty qualified voters within its limits. 



HISTORY OF EXETER. 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

Exeter, the shire town of the County of Rockingham, New 
Hampshire, is bounded on the southeast by Hampton and 
Hampton Falls, on the south by Kensington and East Kingston, 
on the west by Brentwood, on the north by Newfields and on 
the east by the town of Stratham. It is located on the Western 
Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and has electric 
car service to Porsmouth, Amesbury, Haverhill, Hampton and 
the connections at those points. 

The soil of the township is on the average productive, and 
many of the inhabitants are engaged in the pursuits of agri- 
culture. The town is situated on the banks of the Squamscott 
river, in a desirable and pleasant location. The river is navi- 
gable for small vessels only, but the falls which separate the 
fresh from the tide water furnish valuable water power for 
the manufacturing industries which have made Exeter an indus- 
trial as well as an agricultural community, and to which prin- 
cipally she owes her prosperity and growth. 

The village of Exeter, almost a city, with its splendid 
Phillips Exeter Academy, the Robinson Female Seminary and 
excellent lower schools, its handsome public buildings and beau- 
tiful residences, and with its broad, well-kept streets and ave- 



HISTORICAL II 

nues lined with beautiful trees, is one which appeals to every 
lover of civic beauty, for it is one of the most delightful in the 
State. The population of Exeter in 1900 was 4,922.

EARLY PROPRIETARY AND SETTLEMENT. 

On the third day of April, 1638, the Rev. John Wheel- 
wright purchased of the Indians a tract of land thirty miles 
in extent, reaching from the northern boundary of the Massa- 
chusetts Bay on the south, to the Piscataqua patents on the 
east, and to Oyster river on the north, and on the 4th of July, 
the same year, the first settlers arrived within the boundaries 
of the town of Exeter, named doubtless for Exeter in England. 
Tradition has it that even prior to the coming of Wheelwright 
and his followers there were several settlers in the vicinity of 
the falls of the Squamscott ; Edward Hilton, who had a holding 
in what is now South Newmarket, and Thomas Wiggin in 
what is now Stratham ; Ralph Hall, Thomas Leavitt and 
Thomas Wilson, all of whom had located on the eastern side 
of the Squamscott river. 

The history of the Rev. John Wheelwright is too well 
known to need extended notice. A native of a little hamlet 
in Lincolnshire, England, he was a university man, a brother- 
in-law of the celebrated Anne Hutchinson, a contemporary at 
the university with Oliver Cromwell; and a friend of Sir Henry 
Vane. He landed in Boston, May 26, 1636, soon became pastor 
of a church in the colony, and later was disfranchised and ban- 
ished from Massachusetts for his religious views, or rather, 
perhaps, for utterances which the church authorities were 
pleased to construe as heretical. The sentence against him 
was pronounced in the early part of November, 1637, and he 
was allowed but two weeks in which to depart. To his ban- 
ishment from Massachusetts is attributable the settlement of 



HISTORICAL 15 

Exeter, for Wheelwright came at once to New Hampshire, 
and as soon as possible made preparations for the settlement 
at the falls of Squamscott river, in a region then an almost 
unbroken wilderness. 

Most of the earliest settlers were friends and acquaintances 
of Wheelwright, parishioners and adherents from Mount Wol- 
laston, where he had been pastor of the church, and connec- 
tions and friends who had arrived not long before from Eng- 
land. 

The task which confronted the little band of pioneers was 
indeed a formidable one. The region in which they were about 
to establish homes was remote from any settlement, and could 
be reached only after a hazardous and painful journey, indeed, 
in those days a long one, beset with privation and danger. 

The country was practically a forest-covered region, trees 
must be felled, and clearings made, rude dwellings must be 
constructed, all of which demanded toil and patience. They 
were, however, a hardy, fearless band, confident in their leader, 
eager to establish themselves in a country where they would 
truly be free, firm in their religious convictions, and strong of 
character and purpose. 

Under the jurisdiction of no particular government they 
formed themselves into a body politic, chose their own officials 
and made their own laws, that "they might live together quietly 
and peaceably in all godliness and honesty." For several years 
this form of government existed and the little democracy con- 
tinued, until in 1643, Exeter was annexed to the County of 
Essex, in Massachusetts. 



i6 EXETER 

The Rev. Mr. Wheelwright, being still under the sentence 
of banishment, then removed with a few of his adherents to 
Maine, where he soon became one of the most prominent among 
the early colonists. It is said that he was the ancestor of all 
the Wheelwrights in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hamp- 
shire. He died at Salisbury in November, 1679, at the age of 
eighty-five years. 

In all probability the number of families in Exeter the first 
year of the settlement did not greatly exceed twenty. This 
number however increased year by year, and it was not long 
before the town had become an important settlement. Most of 
the early comers were of English birth or descent. A brief 
sketch of the heads of families is as follows : 

George Barlow, of whom prior to his residence in Exeter 
little is known, came probably in the early spring of 1640, and 
the following year and in succeeding years received grants of 
land from the town. It is thought that he preached at times 
during his residence here. He remained only a few years in 
the settlement. 

George Bates, a thatcher, came from Boston and stayed 
but a short time here; Jeremiah Blackwell stayed but a short 
time also. 

Richard Bulgar, b. 1608, came to America in the fleet with 
Winthrop ; resided in Boston and Rhode Island ; in Exeter only 
a few years. Edward Colcord, b. 1616 or 1617: came to 
America, 163 1 ; assisted Wheelwright in obtaining his land 
grants from the Indian sagamores, resided in Exeter for brief 
periods several times. 



HISTORICAL 17 

John Cram, who had come to Boston as early as 1635, was 
one of the earhest settlers here, served as townsman in 1648 
and 1649, and later removed to Hampton, where he died. He 
is described as having been a good old man, "just in his gen- 
eration." 

Thos. Crawley came to Exeter, perhaps in the spring of 
1640; remained several years; removed probably to Maine. 

Godfrey Dearborn of Devonshire, Eng., came to Exeter 
with his wife and two or three children. He was one of the 
earliest settlers, and was selectman in 1648. It has been thought 
that he lived in what is now Stratham. He removed to Hamp- 
ton about 1650; died Feb. 4, 1686. 

Henry Elkins, a tailor, was of Boston in 1634, agreed with 
Wheelwright in his religious views; came to Exeter in 1638. 
He resided here until 1645, when he went to Hampton. He 
died there Nov. 19, 1668. 

Wm. Cole of Boston in 1637, was a signer of the Com- 
bination ; probably accompanied Wheelwright to Wells ; removed 
later to Hampton, where, in 1662, he died. 

John Compton of Roxbury, in 1634, received a large share 
of land allotments here, removed after a brief stay to Boston. 

Lawrence Copeland of Braintree, was in Exeter, April 3, 
1638; returned to Braintree probably after a short stay; lived 
to the age of a hundred ye^s. 

Darby Field, described by Winthrop as an Irishman, came 
to Exeter in the earliest days of the settlement. He was the 
first European who visited the White Mountains (1642). He 
later resided at Oyster river (Durham) ; died in 1649. 



i8 EXETER 

Gabriel Fish, fisherman, came from Boston to Exeter in 
1638. A few years later he returned to Boston. 

Isaac Gross, a friend of Wheelwright, followed him from 
Boston to Exeter. He received a liberal grant of land here, 
and was chosen the first ruler of the plantation of Exeter. He 
returned to Boston after a residence here of a few years. 

Ralph Hall, b. 1618, was here, perhaps, when Wheelwright 
came. He resided here at two or three different periods, and 
about Oct. 10, 1664, received a grant of fifty acres of land. 
He was later elected to several offices, and held positions of 
trust. He died in March, 1701. 

Christopher Helme, of Lincolnshire, was also a very early 
settler. Upon the departure of Wheelwright in 1643, he re- 
turned to Boston, from which place in a short time he removed 
to Warwick, R. I., where he died before December, 1650. 

Edward Hilton, who had settled in this vicinity before 
Wheelwright's company came, lived in what is now South 
Newmarket, as early as December, 1639. He had been a fish- 
monger in London before emigrating from England to America, 
in 1623. He settled at Dover Point first, received a large grant 
of land later, and came here, as we have seen, before 1640. 
He became a leading man among the settlers, and prominent in 
town affairs. He died in 1671. 

William Hilton, a brother of Edward, came over to Ply- 
mouth in the ship Fortune, Nov. 11, 1621. He remained at 
that place until 1623, when he was joined by his wife and two 
children, who came over from England in the ship Anne. Soon 
afterward the family came to New Hampshire, and were among 
the earliest settlers between Exeter and Dover. Hilton later 



HISTORICAL 19 

was accounted a citizen of the latter place, but not long after 
1644 he went to Maine, settling between Kittery and York. 
He died in York in 1665 or 1666. 

- Samuel Hutchinson, bachelor, brother of Mrs. Wheel- 
wright, came to Exeter early in 1638; remained a year or two. 
He died in Boston, it is believed in 1677. 

Christopher Lawson came probably from Lincolnshire, 
Eng., in July, 1637, to Boston, Mass., whence he came to 
Exeter, perhaps the following year. He lived part of the time 
in Boston, part here; went before 1665 to Maine, where he 
became prominent. 

Thomas Leavitt was another of the Lincolnshire emigrants ; 
came here early, where he resided for some time before remov- 
ing to Hampton about 1643. Three of his sons, probably, were 
residents of Exeter. 

Edmund Littlefield, "a warm partisan" of Wheelwright, 
came here with the earliest settlers, but removed with that 
minister to Wells, where he became a leading man. He died

MILITARY HISTORY. 

When the French and Indian War broke out in 1744, 
Exeter, more than a century old, was no longer a frontier town, 
and consequently did not, as in the preceding Indian wars, suffer 
any inroads from the redskins and the French. The town 
however, from time to time furnished men for military service,, 
many of whom did scout duty on the frontier. 

In 1745, the famous Louisburg expedition occurred, and 
among the total of six hundred and fifteen men furnished for 
the expedition itself and as a reinforcement, Exeter contributed 
probably between forty and fifty men, among them Major 
Ezekiel Gilman, who distinguished himself by an ingenious 
device for transporting artillery over swamps, Capts. True- 
worthy and Daniel Ladd, Lieuts. James Dudley, Samuel Conner, 
and Jonathan Folsom, and Dr. Robert Gilman, surgeon, who 
was wounded near Louisburg by a piece of shell. 

In 1746, Exeter raised two or three companies of soldiers, 
several of whom lost their lives, among them Lieut. Bradley^ 



HISTORICAL 31 

who with five companions was slain by Indians near Rumford, 
now Concord; and John (or Nathaniel) Folsom, shot by Indians 
at Nottingham. 

In 1755 New Hampshire raised five hundred men for the 
Crow'n Point expedition, and of this number Exeter had a 
company of eighty-four men. Other Exeter soldiers were sent 
out in the second regiment raised to reinforce General Johnson 
after the engagement at Lake George when the French troops 
and Indians under Baron Dieskau were repulsed, and the Exeter 
men rendered distinguished service. 

During the other expeditions and engagements of the war 
Exeter bore her share of the burden nobly, and contributed 
many of her citizens for service in the field. 

REVOLUTIONARY WAR. 

Exeter's part in the great struggle for American independ- 
ence began with the raid, under the command of the famous 
General Sullivan, upon Fort William and Mary at Newcastle, 
in December, 1774, seventy-five or more of her citizens taking 
part in the afifair, and the seizure of the cannon, arms and 
gunpowder. 

On the nineteenth of April, 1775, that day so momentous 
in the history of our country, as soon as the news of the afifair 
at Concord and Lexington was known, Exeter was ready to 
take the field of Liberty, and when at daybreak the next morn- 
ing, an express arrived summoning volunteers to march at 
once to Cambridge, there was no hesitation on the part of the 
townspeople ; the bells were rung, drums beat to arms, and by 
the middle of the forenoon, one hundred and eight men under 



32 EXETER 

the command of Capt. Hackett were on their way to the front. 
Of these men the following list gives the names of a few : 
Capt. James Hackett, Lieuts. J. \V. Oilman and Nathaniel 
Gookin, Sergts. J. T. Gilman, Gideon Lamson, Noah Emery, 
Jr., Privates Eleazer Ferguson, Ebenezer Light, Jonathan Lou- 
gee, John Light, and Caleb Mitchell. Of this number John T. 
Gilman afterwards became a member of the Continental Con- 
gress, and for fourteen years Governor of this State. 

During that year and all the years of the war Exeter con- 
tributed many of her sons, showing that her patriotism and 
loyalty to the American cause was great and true. The total 
number of men furnished was not less than two hundred, most 
of whom belonged here. The list of officers too was not small, 
for in the regular Continental service alone, there were of 
Exeter, one brigadier general, one major, one captain and A. A. 
general, three surgeons, three commissaries, two captains and 
two lieutenants. 

The jail in Exeter during the war was used as a military 
prison, and several Exeter men served as guards. 

In the War of 1812, Exeter rendered no distinguished 
service, but several companies were raised here for brief peri- 
ods ; in the War with Mexico, too, she had but little part. It 
is to the great struggle of the War of the Rebellion that we 
must look for the repetition of that self-sacrifice, heroism and 
loyalty that characterized the people of this town in the Revo- 
lution. 

EXETER IN THE CIVIL WAR. 

When in April, 1861, Fort Sumpter fell, and the storm 
clouds of sectional feeling between the North and the South 



HISTORICAL 33 

broke forth in the declaration of war, the patriotism and loyalty 
of the New England states was tested in the fires of the Nation's 
need. Like the great majority of the towns in this vicinity, the 
citizens of Exeter answered to the call of duty with a willing 
and prompt response, and made immediate preparation to do 
their share in the great conflict which was to follow, and con- 
tinue throughout four long, terrible years. 

This duty Exeter performed in a noble manner, and there 
is no stain on her record of loyalty and service. Every call 
for men and aid received a prompt response, many of her noblest 
sons left their homes and loved ones, for the south country, 
many of whom never returned. Several hundred soldiers were 
contributed by the town, most of whom resided here. These 
men were engaged in many of the great struggles of the war 
and very many of them lost their lives in the service of their 
country. After more than forty years since the surrender of 
Lee at Appomattox, and the new birth of a reunited nation, the 
ranks of the Grand Army, depleted constantly by the inroads 
ci that great destroyer Death, are but a remnant of the mighty 
host that passed in the grand review at Washington ; and they 
dwindle year by year. Let us therefore render the greater 
honor to the few "old soldiers" who still remain, and let us 
linger with reverence a moment over the roll of honor, which 
is herewith given, as a tribute to our veterans and to our 
departed dead. It is to be regretted that there is no complete 
list. The roll-call:

CHURCHES. 

The first church in Exeter was, except that at Hampton, 
the first formed in the State, as it was founded in 1638. It 
included in its membership all or practically all of the adult 
settlers here, for the colonization of the towns in this section 
of New England was essentially a religious one. 

The members of the church wrote to the church at Boston 
probably in the autumn of 1638, requesting that the Rev. John 
Wheelwright be dismissed from that church to become their 
minister. After some delay the request was granted. Mr. 
Wheelwright was dismissed, January 6, 1639, and with him, 
Richard Morris, Richard Bulgar, Philemon Pormort, Isaac 



HISTORICAL 41 

Oross, Christopher Marshall, George Bates, Thomas Wardell 
and William Wardell "unto the church of Christ at the falls 
of the Piscataqua, if they be rightly gathered and ordered," 
and on March 3, 1639, Susanna Hutchinson, widow, Mary, 
wife of Wheelwright, Lenora, wife of Richard Morris, and 
Henry Elkins and his wife, without conditions. 

The Rev. Mr. Wheelwright, after refusing to admit the 
authority of Massachusetts over the settlement at Exeter, re- 
moved to Wells, in what is now the State of Maine, about the 
year 1643. His successor as pastor of the little flock was Mr. 
Thos. Rashleigh, who came to Exeter in the spring of 1643, 
received from the town a grant of a lot May 6th of that year, 
and acted as the minister here for, probably, nearly a year. 

In the spring of 1644, some of the inhabitants attempted 
to gather a new church, and to call the aged Rev. Stephen 
Bachiler of Hampton to act as their minister, but the Massa- 
chusetts General Court refused to permit the carrying out of 
their purpose, but seemed willing that the Rev. Mr. Wheel- 
wright should return to them. Accordingly the majority of 
the townspeople tried to induce that clergyman to become their 
pastor again, making a grant of land to him, his heirs and 
successors forever, "with these conditions, that he doth come 
amongst us again." Mr. Wheelwright, however, did not, for 
certain reasons of his own, choose to accept, and the church 
remained without any settled pastor for a period of about five 
years, though probably they held some religious services in the 
interim. 

The Rev. Samuel Dudley, a son of Governor Dudley, son- 
in-law of Governor John Winthrop, and an eminent clergyman 



42 EXETER 

in the colony, became pastor in 1650, and continued as such 
until his death in 1683. 

The first meeting-house was built, probably, in 1652. It 
was a primitive, rudely-constructed building, but with later 
additions served the society as a place of worship for more 
than forty years. 

For several years after Mr. Dudley's death, the society 
had no settled pastor, though it was supplied by the Rev. Wm. 
Wentworth, one of Exeter's early settlers who had gone with 
Mr. Wheelwright to Wells, and, probably, by the Rev. John 
Cotton 

The third resident pastor of the church. Rev. John Clark, 
a graduatae of Harvard, was settled in 1698, over a church of 
twenty-eight persons then gathered in the new meeting-house 
completed in December of 1696, or early in 1697. His suc- 
cessor, Rev. John Odlin, also a graduate of Harvard, was 
minister of the church from 1706 to 1754. During his minis- 
try, in 1727, the parish of Newmarket was set off from Exeter, 
and incorporated Dec. 15th of that year. A new meeting- 
house was begun in 1730 and occupied Aug. 28, 1731. 

In February, 1742, Epping Parish was set off from Exeter, 
and in June of the same year the parish of Brentwood was 
made separate of this town. 

At the time of the settlement in 1743, of Mr. Odlin's son, 
Woodbridge Odlin, as his colleague — who, with his fathei, 
was opposed to the measures and influence of Whitefield, during 
"the great awakening" — a secession took place, and resulted 
in the formation of the second church with forty-one members.

death in 1785. 

The Rev. John Odlin died Nov. 20, 1754, and his son con- 
tinued as minister of the Fiist Church during the troubled 
period which preceded the Revolution, showing himself to be 
a warm patriot and zealous advocate of the cause of Freedom. 
He died March 10, 1776, and was succeeded as pastor of the 
church by Rev. Isaac Mansfield, a Harvard graduate who had 
rendered services as chaplain in the Continental Army, and who 
was installed Oct. 9, 1776. In 1778, Mr. John Rice, one of the 
members, died, bequeathing to the society by his will, the house 
on Centre street which became the parsonage, and certain lands, 
to be employed for religious purposes, but in case of the failure 
to carry out the accompanying provisions to be used for the 
benefit of a grammar school here. The Rev. Mr. Mansfield 
severed his connection with the church Sept. 18, 1787, and the 
society united with the Second Church in supporting public 
w^orship, which was continued for more than two years. A 
joint call extended by the societies to Rev. David Tappan of 
Newbury, Mass., was not accepted by that minister because the 
call was not unanimous ; the societies could not agree upon any 
other pastor, and in 1790, the Rev. Wm. P. Rowland, a Dart- 
mouth alumnus, was called by and installed pastor over the 
First Church. Eight years later (1798) the present church edi- 
fice was erected. For thirty-eight years, until Dec. 5, 1828, 
Mr. Rowland continued his labors as pastor of the church, and 
was succeeded March 12, 1829, by Rev. John Smith, a native 
of Weathersfield, Conn., and a graduate of Yale.

In 1838, May 31st, the Rev. \\^illiam Williams, a Yale 
graduate, became pastor and remained until Oct. i, 1842. He 
later entered the medical profession. 

The Rev. Joy H. Fairchild, also a Yale man and pastor 
Sept. 20, 1843-July 30, 1844, was the next minister. His suc- 
cessor, Rev. R. D. Hitchcock, a graduate of Amherst, was 
pastor Nov. 19, 1845-July 7, 1852. He later was a professor 
for three years in Bowdoin College, and sometime afterward 
President of the Union Theological Seminary, New York. He 
died June 17, 1887. 

Rev. Wm. D. Hitchock was pastor here about a year, Oct. 
5, 1853-Nov. 23, 1854, the day of his death. 

Rev. Nathaniel Lassell was installed pastor June 19, 1856, 
and ended his pastorate three years later, in 1859. 

Rev. Elias Nason, a graduate of Brown, came in Novem- 
ber, i860, and remained until Memorial Day, 1865. 

Rev. John O. Barrows, an Amherst man, was installed 
Dec. 5, 1866, and received his dismissal Oct 6., 1869, closing 
his work that he might enter upon mission work in Asia. 

Rev. Swift Byington, a Yale man, the sixteenth pastor 
of the church, was installed as such, June 2, 1871, and remained 
more than twenty years, when Rev. W. L. Anderson came for 
a pastorate which continued until the latter part of 1907, when 
Rev. Geo. H. Driver, the present pastor, was installed. 

SECOND CHURCH. 

In 1743, forty-one members of the First Church in Exeter 
seceded from that body, and proceeded to erect a new meeting- 
house and to organize a separate church. The house was fin- 



HISTORICAL 45 

ished in 1744, on land given by Colonel Peter Oilman and 
Samuel Oilman, situated on the north side of what is now 
Front street. It was a good-sized building of two stories, with 
a steeple, which held a bell. For some years the society had 
no settled pastor, but in 1748, Rev. Daniel Rogers accepted a 
call to the church and was pastor from Aug. 31st of that year 
until his death in 1785. 

After the death of Mr. Rogers, the society for nearly seven 
years was without a settled pastor. Rev. Samuel Austin of 
New Haven, Conn., supplied for several months in 1790, but 
declined to become settled pastor. In November that year 
Rev. Joseph Brown was installed pastor, and remained until 
1797; after which, for a time, the church declined. Preaching 
and worship was maintained, however, the church being sup- 
plied, and the parish organization continued unbroken. Rev. 
Hosea Hildreth came to Exeter in 181 1 as an instructor in the 
Academy and was engaged to supply the church. He con- 
tinued to do so for a period of nearly five years, and until the 
society secured a settled pastor. 

The church was reorganized Dec. 24, 1812. On the elev- 
enth of September, 18 17, Rev. Isaac Hurd became pastor. 
During his pastorate the old meeting-house which had been 
in use for a period of almost eighty years, was replaced by a 
new edifice erected on land furnished for the purpose by the 
trustees of the Academy, and completed by March, 1824. 

The Rev. Samuel D. Dexter was ordained colleague pastor 
with Mr. Hurd, Dec. 2, 1847, but lived only a few years, his 
career being cut short by his death. Rev. Asa Mann was 
-installed as Mr, Hurd's colleague, Nov. 19, 185 1. On the 



46 EXETER 

fourth of October, 1856, the Rev. Dr. Hurd ended his labors 
on earth. Less than a year later, July 8, 1857, Mr. Mann was 
dismissed, and was succeeded by Rev. O. T. Lanphcar, who 
was installed Feb. 2, 1858. He was a native of Vermont, 
graduate of Middlebury College, and came to Exeter from a 
church in Lowell, Mass. After six years of successful labor 
here he was succeeded as pastor by Rev. John W. Chickering, 
Jr., a native of Portland, ]\Ie., and a Bowdoin graduate, who 
was installed Sept. 5, 1865, and remained until his dismissal 
July 18, 1870, when he went from here to Washington, D. C, 
to accept a professorship in the Deaf Mute College. 

The eighth pastor of the church, Rev. Geo. E. Street, was 
installed March 30, 187 1. He was a native of Cheshire, Conn., 
a graduate of Yale, and came to Exeter from the First Church 
in Wiscasset, Maine. He remained until his death. 

Rev. Alexander P. Boume came about 1896, and was suc- 
ceeded by the Rev. S. H. Dana, D. D., who came from Spring- 
field, 111., several years ago, and continues as pastor at the 
present time. 

BAPTISTS. 

The first Baptist church in Exeter was organized with ten 
members, October 17, 1800. The church was small and for 
several years was not able to support a resident pastor. The 
first place of meeting was at the dwelling house of Harvey 
Colcord, and afterwards the society met at the Centre school- 
house. The first meeting-house was built on Spring street,, 
and dedicated in 1805. For several months in 1806, Mr. Bar- 
nabas Bates preached to the society. In 1809, Rev. E. L. Boyd 
became preacher and continued as such with success for two 



HISTORICAL 47 

years. During the period 1814-1816, Revs. Chas. O. Kimball 
and Jas. McGregore supplied the pulpit a part of the time. 
Later services were conducted by divinity students. In 18 17, 
the first Sunday school was commenced in connection with 
the church, the first teacher of which was Deacon John F. 
Moses, who held the office of superintendent during nearly half 
a century. 

The society was incorporated by the Legislature in 18 18, 
and in that year Rev. Ferdinand Ellis, the first settled pastor, 
came, who remained from June, 1818, to September, 1828. 
From the autumn of that year until February, 1833, Rev. John 
N. Brown served as pastor. He returned to the church in 
1834, and remained until April, 1838. 

The second meeting-house of the society was dedicated 
Nov. 19, 1834, and served as a place of worship until the church 
on Front street was erected. From May 29, 1833, to Feb. 16, 
1834, the Rev. John Cannon, Yorkshire, England, had minis- 
tered to the society. After Mr. Brown's dismissal Rev. J. G. 
Naylor supplied the pulpit, but it was more than two years 
before a pastor was settled. 

Rev. Noah Hooper, Jr., was the next resident minister, 
remaining with the society from Dec. i, 1840, to July 20, 1845. 

For nearly three years after this the church was without a 
pastor, but Mr. T. H, Archibald preached during a part of the 
time. Revs. EHjah J. Harris, 1848-April 7, 1850; James 
French, January 1851-Jan. i, 1853; Mr. Russell; Franklin Mer- 
riam, September, 1854-November, 1856 ; Jas. J. Peck, February, 
1857-April, 1861, were the succeeding pastors of the church. 
In the summer of 1861, the Rev. Noah Hooper returned for a 



48 EXETER 

second pastorate, filling the position of pastor here with success 
and satisfaction until the autumn of 187 1, when he procured 
a dismissal. Rev. John N. Chase became pastor, probably the 
first of December, 187 1, and continued to minister to the society 
for many years. 

In December of the year 1854, twenty-two members with- 
drew from the church on Water street, and formed a new soci- 
ety. Meetings were held in a hall on Water street, until a 
meeting-house was built on Elm street. The church was dedi- 
cated Oct. I, 1856. The members of the church, at first, were 
ministered to by Rev. J. B. Lane, but shortly after the com- 
pletion of the new house of worship, Rev. T. H. Archibald 
became their settled pastor, continuing as such for nearly two 
years. Following his dismissal, the church was supplied by 
theological students from Newton, Mass., and afterwards by 
the Rev. Mr. Mayhew. Rev. Chas. Newhall was installed 
pastor about the year 1862, and continued his labors here from 
that time until about 1870 or 1871. About this time (1871) 
the two Baptist societies united once more ; the Elm street 
meeting-house was abandoned, to come into the possession, 
later, of the Second Congregational Society, by which it was 
used as a chapel. 

In 1874- 1875 the reunited Baptist Society erected a hand- 
some brick church on the corner lot of Spring and Front streets. 

The Rev. John N. Chase closed his pastorate in December, 
1894. The succeeding pastor, Rev. A. E. Woodsum, Colby 
College, 1875, ^"^ Newton Theological Seminary, 1879, '^^'^''O 
came here from IMassachusetts, is still pastor of the church. 



HISTORICAL 49 

UNIVERSALISTS. 

As early as 1810, probably, a society of Universalists was 
formed in Exeter, and in 1819 incorporated. For about ten 
years or more, religious services were held, but at the end of 
that time the organization was abandoned. Some years later, 
however, meetings were held once more, and services main- 
tained in the old court-house, by the Rev. Hosea Ballou and 
other clergymen of the Universalist Church. On the 26th of 
May, 183 1, a new society was formed, and later a house of 
worship was erected on the east side of Centre street. 

Among the preachers who supplied the new church were 
the Revs. T. K. Taylor and Wm. C. Hanscom. Rev. James 
Shrigley of Baltimore, Md., was installed pastor, June 16, 1837, 
and remained three years or more. The next pastor, Rev. 
H. P. Stevens, stayed here but a year or two, and was succeeded 
some time after his removal by the Rev. Henry Jewell. During 
his pastorate the church increased in membership to such an 
extent that it was thought advisable to construct a new and 
larger church. This was done, and the church, dedicated Dec. 
18, 1845, ^^^ served as a place of worship successively for the 
Universalists, Unitarians and Methodists. 

The next pastor was Rev. R. O. Williams, who was a 
physician as well as a clergyman. His stay was brief. Suc- 
ceeding pastors were the Revs. John L. Stevens and Silas S. 
Fletcher, the latter of whom was the last pastor of the church. 
In 1854, the Universalist Society disposed of the meeting-house 
to the newly formed Unitarian Society and discontinued their 
separate organization.

CHRISTIAN SOCIETY. 

•The members of this society held reHgious meetings prior 
to the year 1830. Elder Abner Jones preached here occasion- 
ally, but the first regular minister here was probably Elder 
John Flanders, who remained five or six years, during which 
time the society grew, formed a church and erected a chapel 
at the foot of Franklin street. Elder Elijah Shaw and Elder 
Edwin Burnham who came about the year 1840, were succeed- 
ing pastors. The chapel had to be enlarged to accommodate 
the increased membership during Elder Burnham's pastorate, 
but about 1842, or not long after, many seceded through the 
influence of the teachings of the noted Wm. Miller, and the 
Adventists. This loss of members weakened the Christian 
Society, but the organization continued until about the year 
i860, the members being ministered to by Elders Simeon Swett, 
J. C. Blodgett, and finally John W. Tilton. The society became 
extinct a year or two before the outbreak of the Civil War. 

ADVENTISTS. 

This society, made up chiefly of former members of the 
Christian and Methodist Societies, was constituted in 1843 ^"*^ 
continued to hold meetings in the chapel on Clifford street for 
many years. The present church on Elm street was erected 
in 1901, and Elder Knowlton was pastor for several years, 
being succeeded by the present pastor. Elder F. H. Laird. 

METHODISTS. 

The first efforts for the formation of a Methodist Church 
in Exeter were made by five ladies in 1830. At their invitation, 



HISTORICAL 51 

the Rev. D. I. Robinson, then of Newmarket came and preached 
here. The following year Rev. A. H. Worthing of Newmarket 
held services here occasionally. In 1832, Exeter became a 
regular station, and Rev. A. P. Brigham was appointed pastor 
of the Methodists here. Meetings were held in the old court- 
house. In November, 1832, John Clement, Samuel Tilton, and 
Moses P. Lowell organized the First Episcopal Methodist Soci- 
ety in Exeter. 

In 1833, Rev. A. H. Worthing was stationed here; in 1834, 
Rev. Samuel Hoyt. The society occupied, by invitation, the 
old Universalist church, but in 1834 erected a brick church of 
their own upon Portsmouth avenue. The sermon of dedication 
was preached by the Rev. Geo. Storrs, Feb. 10, 1835. Rev. 
W. H. Hatch became pastor that year, but remained only a 
year, being succeeded by the Rev. Alfred Metcalf, whose suc- 
cessors were Revs. O. Hinds and Jacob Sanborn. 

Later pastors were Revs. E. D. Trickey, 1840-1841, at 
which time (1841) the church numbered about 180 members; 
and D. I. Robinson, 1842, in which year he and a majority of 
the members of the church, because of the lack of harmony 
in the society, seceded and formed a Wesleyan Methodist 
Church, which was never very prosperous. 

For some years after 1842 Exeter was united with Ames- 
bury, Mass., and had no separate pastor. In 1847, Rev. Isaac 
W. Huntley was pastor; in 1848-9, Rev. Ebenezer Peaslee. 

In 1858, Rev. James M. Buckley, a young but able preacher, 
supplied the pulpit and drew a large number of people to the 
church. He later became a distinguished clergyman, a doctor 



52 EXETER 

of divinity and editor of the leading Methodist journal of the 
United States. 

Rev. Mr. Stokes had charge of the society the following 
year, but the society was already declining and soon ceased to 
maintain public worship. 

In 1861 and 1862, the meeting-house was opened occasion- 
ally, but it was not until 1867 that a new society was organized. 
Rev. C. W. Millen preached for a few weeks that year, and 
after his departure Rev. J. D. Folsom came, and the society 
grew in numbers and prosperity. 

Rev. H. B. Copp succeeded Mr. Folsom, and remained 
three years. During his stay, the Unitarian church on the 
corner of Front and Centre streets was purchased by the society. 

The pastors who came after Mr. Copp ended his labors 
here, were the Revs. S. E. Quimby, three years ; S. C. Fam- 
ham, 1 874- 1 875 ; J. H. Haines, three years; M. Howard, 1879- 
1880; J. W. Walker, 1881-part of 1882; C. H. Hannaford, 
remainder of 1882; C. J. Fowler, 1883; John W. Adams, 1884- 
1886; C. N. Nutter, 1887; Rev. G. A. McLaughlin, 1888-91; 
Rev. S. E. Quimby, 1891-94; Rev. T. W. Whiteside, 1894; 
John H. Emerson, 1895-96; Rev. Wm. Woods, 1897-1903; 
Rev. W. T. Boultenhouse, 1903-05, until his death; Mr. Par- 
sons of Boston University supplied several months. Rev. R. H. 
Huse came in 1906 and is the present pastor. 

The Rev. Mr. Huse is an alumnus of Drew Theological 
Seminary, 1903, and was pastor of churches in Sanbornville 
and Brookfield before coming to the Exeter church. 



HISTORICAL 53 

CATHOLIC CHURCH. 

The Catholics of Exeter were first organized for the 
observance of public worship in 1853 by the Rev. John McDon- 
nell of Haverhill, Mass. There were not many Catholics here 
at the time, and at first they had no church edifice, and services 
were held only occasionally. The number of communicants of 
the faith increased however year by year, and in July, 1859, 
the Rev. J. Ph. Perrache was appointed regular pastor of the 
people here. Meetings were held in the old Universalist church 
on Centre street, for a time, but in 1868 a brick church was 
erected on Centre street, and at the same time the house on the 
corner of Water street was made into the parochial residence 
for the pastor. 

Father Perrache, after he had remained here nearly three 
years, was succeeded in April, 1862, by the Rev. Bernard 
O'Hara. In December, 1865, the Rev. Canon Walsh became 
pastor, to minister to the people for about three and a half 
years, at the end of which time, his successor, Rev. M. C. 
O'Brien, came (June, 1869) for a stay of a few months. 

In November of the same year Rev. Charles Egan was 
appointed pastor. Father Egan's pastorate continued until 
December, 1875, when his place was taken by the Rev. Michael 
Lucy. Rev. John Power, the next pastor of the church, came 
in October, 1878. He was a graduate of St. Charles College, 
Baltimore, Md., where he was ordained in October, 1878. He 
was succeeded as pastor of Saint Michael's by the Rev. John 
Canning, and prepared for the priesthood at Rome, where he 
spent several years, and who came to Exeter from the church 

4 



54 EXETER 

in Machias, Maine, and continued as pastor here until his death 
in June, 1904. 

Rev. W'm. Cavanaugh was temporary pastor for a few 
months, at the end of which time (September, 1904) the Rev. 
John C. Finen, D. D., came to begin his pastorate, which has 
continued since that time. 

The Rev. Dr. Finen graduated at Laval College in Mont- 
real, and later at Laval L'niversity in Quebec, where he received 
the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was ordained June 26, 
1888, by Cardinal Taschereau, and the same year appointed to 
Saint John's Church in Concord, where he remained until 1891, 
when he was appointed to several missions in that section of 
New Hampshire, among them Tilton, where he built a church, 
Ashland, Plymouth, Lincoln and Woodsum, coming from his 
labors there to Saint Michael's, Exeter. 

THE UNITARIAN SOCIETY. 

The Unitarian Church in Exeter was formed in June, 1854, 
the membership consisting chiefly of former members of the 
Second Parish who entertained Unitarian opinions, and of Uni- 
versalists, whose society had declined. 

The Universalist church at the corner of Centre and Front 
streets was purchased by the society, and served as a house of 
worship for fourteen years. For nearly two years the society 
had no settled pastor, depending for preaching upon visiting 
ministers who supplied the pulpit, though during a considerable 
part of the time Rev. Joseph Angier, a graduate of Harvard, 
was preacher. In April, 1856, however. Rev. Jonathan Cole 
was installed first resident pastor. Mr. Cole was a graduate 



HISTORICAL 55 

of Harvard, and an able preacher, continuing here for five or 
six years, before going to Newburyport, Mass. 

His successor, Rev. John C. Learned, was ordained pastor 
here May 6, 1863, and remained in Exeter nearly six and a 
half years. During his pastorate the society erected the church 
or the corner of Elm and Maple streets. Mr. Learned later 
went to St. Louis, Mo., and was succeeded as pastor of the 
church here by Rev. Edward Crowninshield, who remained 
only a year. 

About a year after Mr. Crowninshield closed his labors, 
the Rev. B. F. McDaniel came for a pastorate which continued 
during a period of ten and a half years. During Mr. McDan- 
iel's stay in Exeter, the parsonage was built upon the lot adjoin- 
ing the church. His successor, Rev. John E. Mande, a Har- 
vard graduate, served only one year. The next pastor. Rev. 
Alfred C. Nickerson, came to the church in April, 1886, and 
was succeeded by Rev. Edward Green, the present pastor, about 
twelve years ago. The Rev. Mr. Green is a graduate of Brown 
University. 

EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 

The Episcopal Society in Exeter came into existence about 
the year 1865. It originated through the desire of students 
at the Academy who wished to enjoy the services in the church 
in which they had been accustomed to worship. The Rev. Dr. 
(later Bishop) F. D. Huntingdon conducted the first service 
in the town hall in July, 1865. In September of that year the 
parish of Christ Church was organized. In October, Rev. Geo. 
F. Cushman, a graduate of Amherst in 1840, became pastor. 
He remained six months. Services were held in the town hall 



56 EXETER 

at first, and afterwards in the old Congregational vestrj- on 
Centre street. 

Mr. Cushman's successor, Rev. James Haughton, a native 
of Boston, and a graduate of Harvard, i860, came for a pas- 
torate of a few years, during which the church on Elliott street 
was erected, the means for its construction being raised through 
the praiseworthy efforts of the treasurer of the parish, Miss 
Caroline E. Harris, and of the rector. The church was ready 
for occupancy at Christmas, 1867, and consecrated Sept. 30,. 
1868. Mr. Haughton resigned to take charge of a newly 
formed society in Hanover, and was succeeded by the Rev. Dr. 
Samuel P. Parker, a Harvard alumnus, who remained two years. 
The next pastor was Rev. Henry Ferguson (Trinity College), 
who came in July, 1872, and was pastor, except for an absence 
of a year, until about 1878, his place being filled in the interim, 
while he was abroad, by Rev. J. H. George. 

Rev. Geo. H. Morgan, like Mr. Ferguson a native of Con- 
necticut and graduate of Trinity, was pastor of the church 
during a period of more than eight years. Upon his resigna- 
tion to accept the rectorship of a church in New Haven, his 
place was taken by the Rev. Edward Goodridge, another Con- 
necticut and Trinity College man, who began his labors here 
Feb. 26, 1887. Mr. Goodridge had previously been in charge 
of a church in Geneva, Switzerland. He remained in Exeter 
many years. 

His successor, the Rev. Victor M. Haughton, an alumnus 
of Columbia and Haverford, came to the church from Clinton, 
Mass., Nov. 8, 1903, and has continued as pastor since that 
time. 



HISTORICAL 57 

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. 

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, holds regular serv- 
ices in a part of the Town Hall set apart for worship. It was 
organized here not more than a few years ago. 

QUAKERS. 

About the middle of the eighteenth century Exeter had a 
few families who were members of the Society of Friends. 
They held meetings for a time in a barn which was located on 
the south side of what is now Front street. Among them were 
Samuel and John Dudley. The records, however, give little 
information about the Friends, and the society never was very 
largfe in this town. 



EDUCATIONAL ITEMS. 

'Philemon Pormort, one of the earliest settlers in Exeter, 
was an experienced schoolmaster, having taught in Boston 
while a resident there, and doubtless taught here also during 
his five years' stay. 

John Legat, the second teacher, came before Master Por- 
mort left. He had taught school in Hampton and continued 
to teach after his settlement here. 

For two generations or more the people of Exeter, few 
in number, required the maintenance of elementary schools only, 
but about the end of the eighteenth century, the population had 
so increased as to demand higher schools, and a higher grade 
of instruction. The first schoolhouse in town was built prob- 
ably about the year 1707. 



58 EXETER 

Jonathan Pierpont, Nicholas Ferryman, Enoch Coffin, 
Joseph Parsons, Robert Hale, John Graham and Ward Clark, 
were all schoolmasters here before the year 1725. Most of 
them were graduates of Harvard College. 

In 1805, a law was passed by the New Hampshire Legis- 
lature, providing for the separation of towns into districts for 
the purpose of maintaining schools, and in 1807 it was voted 
by Exeter to divide the town into six school districts. 

Of the teachers who rendered the longest as well as the 
most faithful service in the schools of Exeter may be men- 
tioned Rev. Ferdinand Ellis, and his two daughters, Charlotte 
and Rhoda, Benjamin B. Thompson, and Sperry French, who 
was principal of the grammar school for more than a quarter 
of a century. 

The change in the state laws providing for the grading of 
schools was adopted in this town in 1847. A high school was 
established, and the grammar and primary schools were kept 
separate. A handsome high school building was erected near 
the old town house, on Court street. Elbridge G. Dalton, A. M., 
Dartmouth, 1855, was principal 1848-1853. The present prin- 
cipal is Mr. Albion Burbank. 



THE PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY. 

The Phillips Exeter Academy was founded in 1781 by 

tlie munificence of John Phillips, LL. D., a native of Andover, 

Mass., but after 1741 a resident of Exeter, who bequeathed to 

the institution at his death in 1795 ^ large portion of his estate. 



HISTORICAL 59 

The academy was opened in 1783, under the preceptorship of 
WilHam Woodbridge, and dedicated the same year. In Decem- 
ber, 1870, the academy building erected in 1794 was burned. 
The new building was erected in 1872. 

The venerable and highly esteemed Benjamin Abbott, 
LL. D., was the preceptor from 1788 to 1838, a period of fifty 
years, and his successor, Gideon L. Soule, served another very 
long period of time. 

Among its earher instructors were the Rev. Doctors Daniel 
Dana, Abiel Abbott, and Joseph S. Buckminster, James Walker, 
president of Harvard College, Nathan Lord, president of Dart- 
mouth College, Hon. Alexander H. Everett, Asher Ware, judge 
of the district court of the United States in Maine, and Nathan 
Hale, editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser, and many others 
of equal worth and fame who followed them. 

Among the students who attended the academy in the

of names as appear upon the catalogue of Phillips Exeter prob-

Exeter's graduates have become famous in the nation. 

This school. New Hampshire's greatest, is considered one 
of the foremost if not the very first of the leading academies 
in America to-day, and has won a reputation for scholarship, 
pre-eminence in athletics, and in all branches of school interest, 
of which New Hampshire is justly proud. The alumni number 
probably more than seven thousand, and represent every state 
and territory of this country, and also many foreign countries.

the honorary degree of M. A. from Dartmouth College. He 
v/as committed to jail in Exeter for debt and resided here for 
twenty years. Though restricted to certain bounds, he was 
able to practise his profession to some extent, and did so. He 
was a stanch patriot, a brave soldier, an able man in many ways, 
and it is unfortunate that his financial embarrassments reflect 
a blot upon his otherwise worthy career. He died in Exeter, 
June 27, 1823. 

Wm. Parker, Jr., a surgeon in the war, came to resume his 
practice in Exeter, when his military service ended, and con- 
tinued in practice for several years. He died about 1796. 

Nathan North practised medicine in Exeter during a period 
of twenty years. He removed from this town in 1815. 

Dr. William Perry, son of Nathan Perry of Norton. Mass., 
was born Dec. 20, 1788. He prepared for college in part at 
an academy, spent his freshman year in Union College, and 
later entered Harvard, taking his degree there in 181 1. He 
studied medicine in Plymouth and Boston, and opened an office 
in Exeter in 1814. His practice became extensive, extending 
throughout the whole county, and even beyond it at times, and 
he became the principal surgeon and physician in this section, 
continuing to be regarded as such for more than half a century. 
His life, which he closed at the age of ninety-six, was long and 
useful. He was much loved and respected, and was mourned as 
an upright, able, lovable man of the greatest integrity and worth. 

Dr. David W. Gorham, was born in Canandaigua, N. Y., 
in the year 1800, was educated at Phillips Exeter, and at Har- 
vard, from which he graduated in 1821. He established him- 



HISTORICAL 77 

self in the practice of medicine in Exeter, and remained in this 
town until his death in 1873. His son, Wm. H. Gorham, also 
practised here. 

Dr. Samuel B. Swett, a native of Boston, obtained his med- 
ical education in New York and Paris, and came to Exeter 
about the year 1840. For twenty years, he enjoyed an exten- 
sive practice in this town and vicinity, removing at the end of 
that time to Jamaica Plain, Mass. 

* Dr. Wm. G. Perry, a son of Dr. Wm. Perry, graduated 
at Dartmouth in 1842, completed his medical course at Colum- 
bia, studied a year in France, and came to Exeter about the 
year 1846, to begin a very long and successful practice. 

Other physicians who have practised here have been : Dr. 
Josiah Rollins, a native of this town who practised between 
1750 and 1778. Dr. Selah Gridley resided here for some years 
before his death in 1826. Dr. Thos. O. Folsom, an Exeter boy, 
received his medical degree, and died shortly afterward, in 
1827. Drs. A. D. Dearborn, Thos. Flanders, and Blodgett 
practised here a few years about 1840. Dr. Chas. Warren, too, 
practised here more or less for several years. Dr. Geo. W. 
Gale, had a practice also. Dr. Franklin Lane practised medi- 
cine here and at the same time acted as editor of the ''News 
Letter." He afterwards removed to Baltimore, Md. 

Dr. Geo. G. Odiome, a native of the town, commenced 
practice but afterwards removed to the West. Dr. Ezra Bart- 
lett, for a number of years in practice in this town, went to 
Taunton, Mass. Dr. E. P. Cummings came here a little before 
the Civil War, was in the naval service later, and died in New- 
buryport, Mass. Dr. Samuel Perham and Dr. Albert Carroll 



78 EXETER 

practised here for some years. Dr. Chas. C. Odlin, a native of 
Exeter, practised here with success for several years, and is 
now located in Melrose, Mass. 

Dr. Joseph M. Patch, was one of the first of Exeter's 
medical men to practice dentistry, 1839-1849. Dr. Wm. L. 
Johnson later practised dentistry for about twenty years in 
Exeter, going from here at the end of that time to Boston. 
Among his successors in that profession have been Drs. M. D. 
Vinal and M. W. Pray, and Drs. C. H. Gerrish, J. E. S. Pray, 

A. T. Severance, F. A. Charles and H. Prescott, those who 
are in practice in town at the present time. 

Other Exeter physicians are : 

* Dr. William Nute, who graduated at the Bowdoin Med- 
ical School in 1 88 1, and who has been in practice here for more 
than twenty years ; Dr. W. B. Mack, now of Hampton ; * Dr. 
Robert Mason, one of Exeter's oldest physicians ; Dr. Edward 
Otis, now of Boston, Mass. ; * Dr. W. B. Kenniston, who has

HISTORY OF HAMPTON. 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

Hampton in the eastern part of Rockingham County . is 
a coast town, adjoining Exeter, the county seat, and is bounded 
on the southwest by Hampton Falls, on the northwest by 
Exeter, on the northeast by North Hampton, and on the south- 
east by the Atlantic Ocean. It is twelve miles south from 
Portsmouth, and forty-seven miles south-east from Concord, 
the capital of the State. It is located on the Eastern Division 
of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and is connected by an 
electric railroad with Exeter, Portsmouth, Hampton Falls, 
Amesbury, Haverhill, and intermediate and connecting points. 

The surface of Hampton is comparatively level, and a 
large proportion of the land is salt marsh and low interval 
lying along the river which divides this town from Hampton 
Falls. Most of the land is of good quality and well adapted 
to mowing and tillage, and many of the inhabitants are engaged 
in farming. The breeding and raising of poultry, too, is a 
profitable pursuit of the townspeople. 

The situation of Hampton is pleasant, affording from its 
eminences romantic views of many interesting points, among 
them the Isles of Shoals, and the seacoast from Cape Ann to 



86 HAMPTOX 

Portsmouth. For this reason it has become a noted summer 
resort and in the warm season thousands of people flock to 
this town and its beaches, where accommodation is afforded 
for visitors by excellent hotels. 

An abrupt eminence, Boar's Head, extends into the ocean 
and divides the beaches, about midway between the mouth of 
the river and the northeast corner of the town. 

The fisheries have been prosecuted with much success, and 
shipbuilding was formerly carried on largely here, many years 
ago. The town, however, is primarily, though some manu- 
facturing is done here, a summer resort and an agricultural 
community. The population in 1900 was 1209.

EARLY PROPRIETARY AND SETTLEMENT. 

The land grants of the Council of Plymouth in 1622, to 
Sir Ferdinand© Gorges and Capt. John Mason, and in 1629 to 
Mason alone, both included the tract called by the Indians 
Winnacunnet. Perhaps the earliest notice of the place is that 
in the records of the General Court of Massachusetts, under 
the date of March 3, 1636, where this order is to be found : 
"That there shalbe a plantacon settled at \\'innacunnet & that 
Mr. Dumer & Mr. John Spencer shall have power to presse 
men to builde a house forthw'th, in some convenient place, & 
what money they lay out about it, shalbe repaide them againe 
out of the tresury, or by those that come to inhabit there." 

In accordance with this order a house afterward calletl the 
"Bound House" was built for the purpose of securing Winna- 



HISTORICAL 89 

cunnet to Massachusetts, though in fairness to the construction 
of its charter the place was apparently outside of the juris- 
diction of Massachusetts. 

About two years after the settlement of the town of New- 
bury had been begun near the Parker river, the inhabitants, 
for some reason "haveing been moved to leave their plantation," 
received from the General Court, Nov. 2, 1637, a conditional 
grant of Winnacunnet, and all who should "remove w'thin one 
yeare" were to "have three years imunity" from the first day of 
March, 1638. 

About this time, April 3, 1638, Rev. John Wheelwright 
bought of the Indians a tract of land around Squamscott Falls, 
and the purchase included Winnacunnet. 

Early in that year (1638) two persons at least were resid- 
ing at Winnacunnet, Nicholas Eastman and a Mr. Godfrey. 
They remained but a very short time. Where Godfrey went to 
is not certain ; but Eastman was soon after in Rhode Island, 
where in 1672 and 1673 he was the Governor. 

In the autumn of 1638, no permanent settlement having 
been made at Winnacunnet, and the time allowed to the inhab- 
itants of Newbury for a removal to this place having nearly 
expired, a petition signed by Stephen Bachiler and seven others 
was presented to the General Court requesting permission to 
settle here. Their petition was granted, and in October of 
that year, in all probability, the settlement of what is now the 
town of Hampton was begun. 

In the early part of the year 1639, the inhabitants were 
joined by a new band of settlers, with whom came Mr;. Timothy 
Dalton, who was soon associated with Mr. Bachiler in the work 



90 H a:\ipton 

of the ministn . Before the year closed the population of the 
settlement had increased probably to about sixty families. At 
a town meeting June 30, 1640, grants of land were made to 
nearly sixty persons. 

The General Court enacted, May 22, 1639, that "Winna- 
cunnet is alowed to bee a towne." etc., and this order may be 
considered as the incorporation of the town. During the next 
fall session of the General Court, the Indian name Winnacunnet 
was changed to that which the town has had ever since, "Win- 
nacunnet shalbee called Hampton." 

Hampton was now on the way to growth and prosperity. 
The little band of pioneers had taken the first steps toward the 
establishment of new homes in the wilderness, and the first 
months of sufifering and toil had been safely passed. 

December 24, 1639, the town granted to the following 
persons the number of acres denoted by the figures : 

Mr. Steven Bachiler, 300 (besides his house lot) ; Mr. 
Timothy Dalton, 300; Mr. Christopher Hussey, 250; Robert 
Swaine, 100; John Cross, 250; Wm. Eastow, 100; John Moul- 
ton, 250; Thos. Moulton, 80; William Palmer. 100; Rob't 
Saunderson, 80; Philemon Dalton, 100; Thos. Jones, 100; 
Wm. Wakefield, 150; James Davis, 80; Abraham Perkins, 80, 
(granted Jan. 14, 1640). 

In June, 1640, grants were made to others as follows : 
Henry Ambrose (granted in October), Francis Asten, John 
Brabrook, John Brown, Henry Bright, Widow Bristow, Am- 
brose Carpenter, Richard Carre, Aquila Chase, Thomas Chase, 
Arthur Clarke, William Cole, Moses Coxe, Timothy Dalton,

MILITARY ACCOUNT. 

REVOLUTIONARY W^\R. 

At the thne of the outbreak of the great war for the inde- 
pendence of the colonies, Hampton, nearly one and a half cen-

Hampton numbered thirteen men, who served only a few days.

Hampton took but little part in the War of 1812, and the 
War with Mexico, but in 1861, when the secession of the 
Southern States and the attack on Fort Sumpter brought on 
the great struggle of the War of the Rebellion, like the other 
towns throughout this section of the North, this town made 
immediate preparations to do her part in the conflict which was 
to follow, and speedily raised quotas of men and large sums 
of money to aid in the suppression of the Rebellion, and the 
preservation of the American Union. 

The men she sent, like their forefathers in the Revolution, 
were sturdy patriots, loyal to their country and to her institu- 
tions, not afraid of war and bloodshed, nor if it were necessary 
to sacrifice their lives that the great cause of Freedom and 
Union might be won. It is nearly half a century since they 
marched away to the Southland, many of them never to return, 
and the people of to-day, citizens of a reunited country, can 
but little realize what sacrifice they made, and what toil and 
suffering they endured. But as they see the depleted ranks 
of the surviving soldiers melting away with the years, and

realizing as they do that all which they possess they owe to 
them because they saved the nation, are proud to honor and 
revere the soldiers who remain, and their comrades who are 
sleeping in the quiet of the grave, waiting the bugle note that 
will summon all to the last great call of the roll.

CHURCH HISTORY. 

FIRST CHURCH. 

The Interwoven Pastorates — Rev. Stephen Bachiler, 1638- 
1641 ; Rev. Timothy Dalton, 1639-1661 ; Rev. John Wheel- 
wright, 1647-1656; Rev. Seaborn Cotton, 1657-1686. 

The first settlers of Hampton were of a strong religious 
character, and they brought with them to their new homes here 
a strong religious spirit which early manifested itself in steps 
taken for the promotion of the religious and spiritual welfare 
of the community and organization for public worship. With 
them, too, they brought their pastor, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, 
styled the father and founder of the town. 

The Rev. Mr. Bachiler was a native of England, where 
he was born about the year 1561. He came to Boston from 
his native country in 1632, and went immediately to Lynn. 
There he began his ministry which continued until the close 
of 1635, not long after which time he removed to Ipswich. 

7 



I02 HAMPTON . 

With the half dozen or more members who had come from 
England with him, and with whom he had left L\ nn, he under- 
took to form a settlement at Mattakeese (Yarmouth) on Cape 
Cod. In 1638 the company was at Newbury, and in the fall 
of that year settled at Winnacunnet (Hampton). Tradition 
has it that a meeting-house was built by those who formed the 
settlement, as soon as they had constructed log houses for 
dwellings. It was built probably of logs and erected on the 
Green — near where the Academy afterwards stood, and the 
site of several meeting-houses built successively at later periods. 

In the spring of 1639, "Teacher" Timothy Dalton was asso- 
ciated with the Rev. Mr. Bachiler in the ministry, the age of 
the pastor being at that time very great. 

After Mr. Bachiler's troubles on account of charges made 
against him (not proven), and the burning of his residence, 
he removed to Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth), where he lived 
from 1647 to 1650, and probably for some time later. He after- 
wards returned to England, where in the village of Hackney, 
two miles from London, he died in 1660. in the one hundredth 
year of his age. 

Rev. Timothy Dalton, second pastor of the church, was a 
native of England, and a graduate of Cambridge in 1613. He 
came to New England about 1637. Mr. Dalton at the time of 
his settlement here was more than sixty years old. His minis- 
try continued until his death, Dec. 28, 1661. 

The second meeting-house was occupied for public worship 
probably about the month of June, 1650. 

The Rev. John Wheelwright (a brief sketch of whose life 
is given in the Exeter history), the founder and first minister 



HISTORICAL 103 

of Exeter, came here from his ministry in Wells, Maine, to 
assist Mr. Dalton, about the year 1647, ^^'^^ remained until 
1656, when he returned to England. 

Rev. Seaborn Cotton began his ministry in 1657. He was 
the son of Rev. John Cotton, the famous Boston minister, was 
born at sea, while his parents were coming to America, grad- 
uated at Harvard in 165 1, and was settled at Windsor. Conn., 
before coming to Hampton. He remained here until his death 
in 1686. 

The third meeting-house was begun in 1675, but it was 
not completed until several years later. 

Rev. John Cotton was the next settled pastor, coming here 
in 1686, to remain until the summer of 1690. Rev. John Pike 
came next for a short pastorate which he closed in February, 
1692, when he removed to Newbury. Rev. John Cotton re- 
turned to Hampton in 1696 for a second pastorate which con- 
tinued thirteen years and four months until his death, ISIarch 
27, 1710. Rev. Nathaniel Gookin came soon after Mr. Cotton's 
death and remained until 1734. 

In 171 1, the Falls church was organized, forty-nine mem- 
bers of the old church being dismissed for the purpose. 

The fourth meeting-house erected in Hampton was first 
occupied as a place of worship Oct. 18, 1719. 

In 1725, nine persons were dismissed from the church to 
form one in Kingston. 

In 1726, a church was organized and a pastor settled in 
the town of Rye, and a considerable number of the first mem- 
bers were of the Hampton church. 



104 HAMPTON 

In the last years of Mr. Gookin's ministry here, several 
assistants were engaged to help him in the work, among them 
a Mr. Gilman, who remained at least seven or eight months, 
and preachers, hired for three months at a time, until 1734. 
Mr. Solomon Page and Mr. Ward Cotton were among those 
who preached here, and the latter succeeded Mr. Gookin, becom- 
ing sole pastor on the latter's death. His first sermon in Hamp- 
ton was delivered in July, 1731. At the time he became pastor 
of the church there were 253 members in full communion. 
About three years afterward, a church was formed in Kensing- 
ton, sometimes called the "third parish in Hampton." Suc- 
ceeding Mr. Cotton, the Rev. Ebenezer Thayers, 1765- 1792 was 
pastor of the church. ~ 

Not long after Mr. Thayers' decease the Presb)rterian 
Schism occurred, and many of the old church seceding formed 
a new society, of which Rev. Wm. Pidgin became pastor. He 
was a native of Newburyport, Mass., a graduate of Dartmouth, 
and was ordained Jan. 27, 1796. 

Soon after the schism the Congrcgationalists began to hold 
meetings by themselves, their first preacher being the Rev. Mr. 
Perkins. He remained only a few weeks, and on the 17th of 
April, Mr. Jesse Appleton came for the first time, continuing 
to supply the society until his ordination which took place 
about ten months later. He was a native of New Ipswich, N. 
H., a graduate of Dartmouth, and received the degree D. D. 
from both Dartmouth and Harvard. 

The society was incorporated with eighty-one members, 
Dec. 6, 1796. The Rev. Jesse Appleton was ordained Feb. 22, 



HISTORICAL 105 

1797, and in November of that year the new meeting-house was 
dedicated. 

Both the Presbyterian and Congregational societies had 
now a place of worship, but parsonage property and ministerial 
funds were a source of contention and strife between them 
which continued for some time. 

The Rev. Mr. Pidgin continued to preach at the Presby- 
terian church for a number of years, going after his dismissal 
here to the church in Minot, Maine. 

In the meantime the Rev. Mr. Appleton was preaching at 
the Congregational church, but in 1807 he procured a dismissal 
to accept the presidency of Bowdoin College. 

The churches were now without pastors, and in 1808 they 
united for the observance of worship, and Rev. Josiah Webster 
was made pastor of the church, continuing his labors with suc- 
cess for more than a quarter of a century. During his ministry 
in Hampton, 170 persons were received to the full communion 
of the church. 

After Mr. Webster's death in 1837, the church remained 
without a pastor for nearly a year. In April, 1838, Rev. E. 
D. Eldredge, a native of Dunstable, Mass., and a graduate of 
Amherst, was ordained pastor. He remained until 1849. In 
January, 1844, a new church was dedicated. 

Since Mr. Eldredge's pastorate the following ministers have 
been pastors of the church: Rev. Solomon P. Fay, Sept. 6, 
1849-Aug. 29, 1854, removed to Dayton, Ohio; Rev. John Colby, 
Oct. 31, 1855-N0V. 18, 1863; Rev. Jas. B. Thornton (supply), 
I yr. ; Rev. J. W. Dodge (Amherst and Andover), Oct. 19, 
1865-N0V. 18, 1868, removed to Yarmouth, Mass. ; Rev. Jas. 



io6 HAMPTOX 

McLean, from Menasha, Wis., autumn 1869, supply for a year, 
installed settled pastor Dec. 15, 1870- Jan. 30, 1872; Rev. F. D. 
Chandler, employed nearly two years ; Rev. John S. Batchelder, 
three years; Rev. Wm. H. Cutler, four and a half years; Rev. 
Walcott Fay, of Michigan, came here from Oxford, Me., or- 
dained Feb. 20, 1884, pastor until Xov. 16, 1886, removed to 
Bridgewater, Mass. ; Rev. John A. Ross, native of Lunenburg, 
N. S., who began his ministrations in July, 1887, installed June 
14, 1892, remained until about four years ago, when Rev. Edgar 
Warren came to remain about three years, at the end of which 
time Rev. E. Payson Rowell, the present pastor, came. 

A notable event in the history of the church was the cele- 
bration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. August 
19, 1888. 

FREE BAPTISTS. 

In the spring of 1808 when the Presbyterian and Congre- 
gational societies were united, and the Congregational church 
was restored to its former position as the church of Hampton, 
there were a few citizens who refused to be a party to the 
union. 

They were not strong enough however to colonize until 
1814, but in July of that year the dissenters held their first

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 

When Methodism was introduced in Hampton, the Con- 
gregational and a Christian society had been in existence for 
many years. The first Methodist sermon preached in Hampton 
was delivered in the old North schoolhouse by the Rev. James 
M. Fuller in December, 1835. 

Sometime in the month of November, 1836, preaching 
having been held at regular intervals of time for several months, 
the friends of Methodism held their first "protracted meeting," 
at which twenty converts were made, and immediately united 
together in a class. The society worshiped in the small house 
formerly occupied by the Christian society. In May (1837) 
the house which had been given to the society, and repaired 
and fitted, was rededicated to the worship of God, and the 
Rev. J. M. Fuller preached the sermon. 

July 4, 1837, Rev. John Brodhead was appointed to preach 
here, and he labored in Hampton until the following spring, 
when he died at his residence in South Newmarket. Rev. Wm. 
Padman was appointed here in 1838. Revs. S. A. Gushing and 
A. M. Osgood preached here the next year, and in 1840 iNIr. 
Osgood returned for a pastorate of about a year. Rev. Abra- 
ham Folsom was appointed in 1841. Through his influence 
the legal society "The First Methodist Episcopal Society of 
Hampton" was organized, April 8, 1842. Mr. Folsom died 
hi 1872. In 1842, Rev. Horatio N. Taplin. a native of East 
Corinth, \'t., came for a pastorate of two years.

Census Abbreviations 



The population of the towns of Exeter and Hampton. 
N. H., has been arranged in famiHes where that arrangement 
has been possible. In addition to the resident living members, 
the non-resident members are included. However, this does 
not include all the non-residents of these towns, as the non- 
resident appears only when such person has one or both the 
parents still living in town. 

After the name of each non-resident person will be found 
the address when such address has been given to us. Non- 
residents are indicated by the * preceding the name. 

Followini; the name of each family appears the address 
of the family when the said address is different from the name 
of the town. 

The married lady's name is written in full with the maiden 
name in parenthesis ; and further if a daughter, whose name 
appears in her parents' family of course, has married, whether 
a resident or a non-resident, there will be placed after her name, 
in parenthesis preceded by a small m the name she has taken in 
marriage, thus (m ). 

Following the name of the population appears the occu- 
pation. To designate these we have in many cases used the 
more common abbreviations and contractions, as follows : 
Farmer — far ; carpenter — car ; railroad service such as con- 
ductor, brakeman, fireman or engineer — R. R. ser : student de- 
notes person studying in a high school or advanced institution 
of learning; pupil denotes a member of the lower grades of 
schools and includes all who have reached the age of five years ; 
laborer — lab ; physician and surgeon — phy & surg ; clergyman — 
clerg ; merchant — mer ; blacksmith — blk ; bookkeeper — bk kpr ; 
mechanic — mech ; machinist — mach ; engineer — eng ; worker —
